Optimizing Asset Management for Business Performance

Harnessing Digital Platforms for Launch, Awareness & Loyalty Virtual Product Launch During COVID

Harnessing Digital Platforms for Launch, Awareness & Loyalty Virtual Product Launch During COVID

In orthopedic surgery, where instrument availability and precision directly affect outcomes, asset inefficiency can silently erode profitability. Shaonie Maitrra led a value-optimization initiative focused on reducing the cost impact of idle, misplaced, or underutilized surgical instrument sets. By analyzing usage patterns and streamlining inventory, she implemented measures that minimized depreciation losses, reclaimed hidden value, and improved revenue realization. This operational transformation not only enhanced supply chain efficiency but also contributed to meaningful margin improvement—delivering measurable impact in a high-pressure, cost-sensitive healthcare environment.

Harnessing Digital Platforms for Launch, Awareness & Loyalty Virtual Product Launch During COVID

Faced with lockdown-era restrictions, Shaonie led the launch of a med-tech product using a fully virtual engagement strategy. The initiative featured immersive 3D demonstrations, physical sample kits, and coordinated sales follow-ups. This “phygital” launch model enabled direct engagement with healthcare professionals, resulting in increased adoption and measurable market share gains—demonstrating the viability of virtual strategies in regulated clinical settings.


Patient-Centric Campaigns That Drive Action: To counter patient denial and late-stage diagnosis—especially in age-sensitive or alternative-leaning segments—Shaonie designed public-facing campaigns that blended behavioral insight with clinical storytelling. By combining digital touchpoints with in-clinic activations, these campaigns educated patients on early symptoms, reduced diagnostic delays, and improved treatment initiation—delivering both health outcomes and brand equity.


KOL Engagement Through Strategic Drip Marketing: Shaonie pioneered a segmentation-led drip marketing strategy for Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), adapting digital engagement flows based on their influence tier (established, rising, or new). The initiative deepened clinician relationships through tailored educational content, frequent touchpoints, and integrated sales enablement—boosting recall, lead conversion, and long-term brand affinity.

Strategic Thought Leadership in Market Access

Strategic Thought Leadership in Market Access

In a crowded healthcare market, premium positioning demands more than clinical features—it requires a defensible value narrative. Contributing to a cross-functional market access initiative, Shaonie helped frame a compelling case for superior patient and economic outcomes. The project drew on healthcare economic metrics such as Average Length of Stay (ALOS) and Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALY) to highlight both clinical efficacy and system-wide savings. Her strategic input helped elevate the product’s perception from commodity to value-driver—reinforcing the brand’s pursuit of premium positioning in a highly competitive category.
